Our sweet, funny, smart-as-a-whip Labradoodle, Kiley, died this afternoon at the age of 15 years and 8 months. Kiley was the little sister of Airedale Willow and then, in 2006, became the big sister... more

sorry for your huge loss. Too many of our beloved Doodles have gone on to their next chapter, at the Rainbow Bridge. I thank G-d you had each other for so long. RIP pretty one and run like the wind.... more

We have buried two from hemangiosarcoma, both found in the spleen. Our Madison died at 8 yrs, and Mackenzie at 11 yrs. It's an awful, awful disease. While I'm so sorry you have lost sweet Kiley, what ... more

Thank you for your kind message, Sher. We lost both Cody and Kiley to hemangiosarcoma this year. (Cody was almost 11 when he died in January.) What a terrible disease. I feel sad about Madison and... more

I remember your Kiley- what a nice long life he had with you, although never long enough. God bless you through this time and I pray the good memories will help comfort you and bring healing to your... more

another of The Zoo's Old Timers passing on. They leave behind a legacy of such deep love, one that creates a wound so deep and raw that healing in itself seems impossible. I know. I have been there.... more

Thank you for your beautiful and heartfelt post, Sue. I loved Kiley with all my heart, and am so grateful to her for living almost a year after her younger "brother" Cody died. I think she willed... more

Willow was watching over her in her typically elegant Airedale way. Itís hard to comprehend that they are all passed on. Itís never easy to lose such a dear companion but itís very hard when you lose ... more

It is so hard to watch the gradual loss of the 'charter members' of our Zoo. My heart hurts for you Marcia. Hemangiosarcoma of the spleen is exactly what stole Quintzy from us two years ago. You are... more

Yes, we've seen the passing of so many of the first doodle friends we made. And though we've never met, we feel we know them, as we watched them grow from puppies, to mature dogs, to seniors. Dick... more
